Reggie breaks down Jerry Lorenzo, his label Fear of God, and how he is blatantly misunderstood by a community that loves his style but can't seem to love the man himself.

its expensive to manufacture clothing in the USA in fact any brand that doesn't make their shit in Asian sweatshops is priced just as expensively. You have to pay your seamstresses well over $15/hr to manufacture your goods as well as using all real deal high quality hardware and materials also isn't cheap. Find me a high end brand that doesn't sell their pants for ~$1000? Gucci does, Louis does, Saint Laurent does, Prada does, Dior does, etc. a lot of people hate on shit they don't even understand.

The fact the matter is, unless u got millions to spend on ads no matter the talent, its all about networking. U have to be seen and be ready wen u make that connect. Move to the major cities, go out and be social. Networking is the "major key". I know ppl who are so talented, with their own boutique, and still scrapping for pennies to stay afloat. Then I know ppl who are sub par and got $50,000 from an investor for their so called "fashion line" and doin runway shows. Network, keep pushing, and know that theres no age limit or time limit and f*ck haters. Jerry took a over 30K chance. Alot of ppl with more talent wont even go that far.

@drewcarr7286 5 жыл бұрын

Raf simons wasn't formally trained in fashion either. The non-traditional designer thing is wrong, people don't like him because...of him. The way he acts on social media, treats other designers, acts like his clothes are the second coming of jesus when they're just a season ahead of pacsun at this point.

@THECASUALco 5 жыл бұрын

Raf started in furniture design. A form of design and classically trained in design methodology. To even put Raf and Jerry in the same league of design would be intellectually dishonest. To address the "how Jerry acts" argument, honestly that's more a personal assessment which I can't speak on. Everything said here is from an objective point of view and judging by your own comment it seems you do in fact take into account his treatment of other designers and his personal take on his own prowess of design next to more skilled individuals. More succinctly, how you put it, "him". This video is on Jerry. No love no hate just an assessment of what research has born but your opinion is respected and well received. I just disagree the assessment being unequivocally 'wrong'. ~Reggie

@drewcarr7286 5 жыл бұрын

THE CASUAL You’re right, I just meant the comparison in the sense that both weren’t formally trained in designing clothes. I guess Virgil would a better comparison but even Virgil majored in civil engineering. I guess it depends on your definition of non-traditional. Personally coming from a background of taking a couple years of fashion design, the things you learn are very specific to the industry so i consider anyone who hasn’t gone through that, non-traditional. If I asked my engineering friends to pattern out a full scale assymetrical front and back bodice. They have the same chance of understanding that as someone who never went to college to begin with. Now the engineering major might pick it up a little faster, but not a significant advantage over anyone else.

Clearly you are uneducated about fashion. I work in haute couture in both Paris and Milan.So I know way more about clothing manufacturing and every other things you probably dont. His clothes are overpriced you cannot compare Gucci and Prada to FOG cmon now. His clothes are in made in Usa ok and some of them have specific lining and fabric but nothing crazy. I suggest you visit a couture atelier or go to a fashion design schools to see what people are really doing that can justify high prices. @@ScullCandy56

I discovered fear of god in the second collection, and I feel in love with the third collection. Honestly one of my favorite fashion collections with me liking almost every piece. I understand people think the “fear of god” look is played out. But I think some of the pieces are really timeless and mix traditional Americana with luxury. A denim shirt or a wool coat will never go out of style.

The Fear of God clothes are tight. No doubt. The reason people hate on Jerry is because the story is fake and his persona the same. He says he had to fight his way through the industry. Not really Jerry you're a rich kid who's father was a major league coach. You didn't need to grind to raise money for patterns and samples. That invoice was covered. You also had friends like Kayne who got you connected with stylists like Karla Welch and other celebrities which made your marketing extremely easy in comparison to other brands. It hasn't been the struggle for him that he would like you to think. He talks about god and love, but when one reads your instagram comments a different persona pokes through. Theres no doubt his brand cool, its heavily influenced by real designers like Rick Owens and Jerry has a great team of people at FOG like Jeff Lazaro. Good luck to them

They are those that watched what happen, those who heard and talk about what happen, and those who made it happen. Which one are you? People will always talk, but ideas are recycled and made unique. Look at music samples, Ancient Greece and Egypt. It’s a admiration to the greats but made ones own. You take inspiration and ethos and live by that. It’s different when you don’t think and try to replicate something. A good example of that is Barbara Kruger and supreme. But art is for the taking, the doers, and those who are ready. Things can be handed to you but it’s what’s done to them that matters. Jerry was 35 yrs old when he launched like that’s a sacrifice to the family too. Live your own lives or you’ll live for others.
